He slnrlcd to Ills feet with an exclamation. The rider wan l woman, nnd hIio was making her way leisurely toward the Ilnzclliurst lands. "Lady Ilii.olliurst, I'll bet my hat," thought ho wllh a quiet whistle. "Ity tieorge, this Is awkward! My first trespasser Is In petticoats, I say, she's a beauty a ripping bounty. Lord, Lord, what do such women mean by giving themselves to little rats like Hn.el liurst? Oh, the slinme of It! Well, It's up to mo. If I expect to 'muko good' I've Just got to fire her off these grounds." Naturally ho expected to bo very po lite iibimt It Instinctively so. He could not bnve been otherwise.

To her amazement he deliberately turned and begun to lead her horse, willy nil. ly, down I lie road, very much as if sho were a child taking her (list riding les son. "What a.e you doing, Blr?" she ex claimed sharply, Thero wns a queer flutter of helplessness In her voice. "Putting you off," ho answered In conlcnlly. HIio laughed In delight, nnd be looked up with a relieved smile. "I'm glad you don't mind. I hitvo to do It These feud are such beastly things, you know.

"You dropped It, I daresay, In pur suing Mr. Shaw." The positive radiance which followed dismay In bis wntery eyes convinced her beyond nil doubt that her brother's encounter with the tall Mr. Show wa not quite creditable to Buzelhurstarms.
